Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 366
◈ 366. [STAGE 15] Fallout (2)
Before my eyes, the magic door that spun around glowed red and eventually collapsed and closed..
It meant that the gate over there had been destroyed. I gritted my teeth..
“The last person to see the Shadow Corps was?”
“That, that…….”
Damian, who hesitated, stepped forward..
“When I looked back just before entering the gate, I saw that the retreating procession had escaped and was running toward the walls..”
“…….”
It's Damien's report, not anyone else's, so it's probably accurate..
I had a headache and pressed my hand between my eyebrows..
Then Thorkel came to me and stammered an apology..
“I'm sorry, Your Majesty. The situation was so urgent that as we only looked at the end of the procession, we thought we were at the end.…….”
I entrusted the last part of the hero party to the leper extermination squad..
It was also his job to make sure all other allies retreated. But he did not notice the departure of the shadow troops..
“……It's not your fault.”
However, with 30,000 goblins rushing in from all directions and taking over the castle, isn't it too harsh on Choi Jomi to take care of other parties that have left the procession without permission?.
So, it's cruel.
“It is the responsibility of the shadow unit that was left behind after leaving on their own..”
I said this.
“Wait a minute, Ash! You're not going to abandon the Shadow Corps like this.?!”
It was Verdandi who urgently asked this question..
As an elf, the three elves of the Shadow Corps are also of the same race, so it is not surprising that she feels a strong sense of camaraderie..
“There is another emergency gate installed inside the forward base! Just send a rescue team there.!”
“…….”
Just as Verdandi said..
There are a total of three gates installed at the forward base. Two of them, installed in the courtyard, have just been destroyed..
For emergencies, the last one was hidden and installed somewhere else on the base so that it could be used in the future..
Rescue troops can be deployed through this gate..
Yes, you can put in.
“……So what? Should we form a rescue force and send it to the place just occupied by the enemy's main force??”
Must think rationally.
3Mann's goblin army has taken over the fortified base..
Are you telling us to send a rescue unit here to find the shadow unit that we don't know where they are or whether they are alive or dead??
In all likelihood, even the rescue force will be wiped out..
“Their occupation is not complete yet! This is our only chance to save them before they completely take over the base.!”
Verdandi said strongly. But I threw up my hand.
“No, it would be better to wait until they vacate the base and head north to the Crossroads, and then send in a search. At least the safety of the search force can be guaranteed.…….”
“Then all the shadow troops will die.!”
I closed my eyes tightly at Verdandi's shout..
The faces of the shadow unit that crossed the line of fire with me flashed through my mind. I also thought of Old Girl and Skull who died on my behalf..
‘Under the name of ‘Shadow Army’, how many military achievements did they achieve?.
Considering their dedication, it is right to form a rescue team right away.…….
“lord.”
At that time, Lucas, standing next to me, spoke coldly..
“It's not possible.”
“…….”
When I turned around, Lucas shook his head with a cold look on his face..
“If you are thinking the same way as before with Evangeline, I will definitely oppose it. It's a completely different problem than back then..”
“…….”
“The opponent is the commander of the Nightmare Army, and the number of enemies is 30,000. It is not dispersed, but is united as one. We can't hope for the same luck as back then..”
“…….”
“As a commander of the Southern Front, make decisions calmly and rationally..”
I gritted my teeth..
And, I said to Verdandi.
“By the time I left the procession and fell behind in front of the goblin army, it was as if my life had already been lost..”
In the coldest voice I can make.
“We are not playing children's house. are at war.”
“…….”
“Just because one party falls behind, you can't put everyone else in danger. If we act emotionally now, this side's power will be further leaked, and if we don't ultimately crush that goblin army here on the front line, the entire world will be trampled by monsters..”
I said it one more time as if confirming it..
“The shadow unit was stranded in the middle of the enemy's main base. We cannot risk the lives of others to save them..”
Verdandi's mouth was tightly shut..
Thorkel lowered his head as if he felt responsible..
It was then.
Squeak. Squeak.
The sound of rolling wheels rang out..
I looked there reluctantly..
I saw a red-haired wizard sitting in a wheelchair, biting his lip, approaching with a pale face..
I reluctantly called her name..
“……lily.”
***
The forward base was swarming with green monsters..
Hiding in an empty room on the outskirts of the base, the shadow unit lowered their breathing and looked around. The whole place was full of goblins with murderous intent in their eyes.,
“They won't be here long.”
Godhand whispered lowly to Burnout and Bodybag..
“We'll be marching towards the Crossroads soon. Then the base will be empty, and you will have a chance to escape... … . Just don't get caught until then..”
Burnout and Bodybag nodded with faces glistening with cold sweat..
It was then.
Creak. Creak.
The sound of heavy footsteps on the wooden floor got closer..
As Godhand looked in surprise, he saw a large goblin wearing colorful armor and a unique symbol on his face walking down the hallway..
Goblin Amir.
He was a goblin general of the rank just below the God King..
《Kirik. Is the search going well??》
《Yes, Kirik! We're searching the interior of the base.!》
《The God King himself gave the order. There may be a rat. Take a thorough look. kirick.》
Suddenly!
bang!
The goblin group led by Amir continued their search by opening the rooms in the hallway one by one..
God Hand, Burnout, and Body Bag shared puzzled looks..
I need to hide - there's nowhere to hide..
When I look outside the building through the window, I see that the outside is also full of goblins. Either way was a scam.
Creak. Creak.
Now the sound of footsteps was right in front of us. Godhand gritted his teeth..
bang-!
The door opened roughly..
Goblins poured into the room. Goblin Amir followed a few steps behind and carefully examined the room..
《hmm…….》
The room was empty.
kirick?
Kiririk…….
Goblin soldiers searched the room. The place seemed to have been used as a warehouse and was full of miscellaneous items, but no special traces were found..
《……There's nothing wrong with this area, Kirik. Let's go to the next area!》
Goblin Amir turned around. Other goblins followed suit and left the room..
“…….”
“…….”
“…….”
Looking at the cleanly emptied room, Godhand quietly sighed in relief..
Now the three shadow troops were floating just below the ceiling..
Body bag telekinetic magic.
With this, the three bodies were urgently lifted into the air, and they were holding their breath while holding close to the ceiling..
Fortunately, the goblins didn't even bother to look at the ceiling..
After a few more minutes, the three elves carefully got down to the floor. The three exchanged glances in silence..
I did it. I escaped their search.…….
《Ki kick. Kikikick. I knew it would be like this.》
At that time, a low-quality laugh that seemed to scratch the floor rang in the ears of the three elves..
When the frightened Godhand looked in that direction, Goblin Amir and the soldiers he thought had left were rushing out from the other side of the hallway..
《I smelled it, kirick.》
Goblin Amir grinned and tapped his hooked nose with his fingertip..
《The smell of meat from the soft elves……!》
“Pfft……!”
《Kirik! Kill the elf! If you make a major, the God King will ‘promote’ you.!》
Kirik! Kiririk!
The goblin soldiers' eyes flashed red, and they rushed down the hallway screaming all at once..
God Hand connected the iron shields piled up in the warehouse, and Body Bag built the barricade at the entrance to the room. Burnout took out his bow and crossbow..
It was time to fight.
Kiyaaaaa!
The top goblin easily jumped over the barricade and rushed at Godhand..
Godhand struck the guy's chin with his left prosthetic hand and stabbed him in the stomach with the spear in his right hand. He died instantly..
The guy who followed right after was thrown away by Body Bag's telekinesis magic, and the two guys behind him were hit by an arrow fired by Burnout and fell to the ground, spraying blood..
During the brief battle, the goblins could not even approach the shadow troops. For a moment, the three members of the shadow unit thought that they could easily survive like this..
But that thought soon changed.
deeply!
“Pfft?!”
When more than twenty goblins were killed, one of the goblin's spears rushed past the piled corpses and pierced Godhand's shoulder armor..
As soon as I killed the goblin, the goblins rushed at me swinging their swords at random, and as I killed them, the goblin archers fired arrows from the other side of the hallway. It was an arrow fired at random without any care whether it hit an ally or not..
Bodybag used telekinesis to kick away the arrows, but several of them flew in and left scars on the shadow unit's body..
Clang!
wajangchang-!
At the same time, the left and right windows of the room broke, and goblins began to invade there as well. Goblins jumped out, clutching blades, not only from the front but from three directions..
Goblins are often portrayed as the weakest monsters, and this is true..
It is about half the size of an adult human male and has less than half the strength. Although they have some quick agility, they are not superior to humans..
Approximately equivalent to a young human child under ten years of age..
But this is a 1:1 comparison.
They act in packs and are instinctively good at killing..
Even if it were human children as young as ten years old, assuming they would rush in by the dozens,.
Even more so if in his hand he holds a knife, spear, or other blade..
Moreover, if you are good at rushing in to kill your opponent without regard for your own life,.
Even if you are a merchant, it is difficult to handle..
“Huh! Heo Eok!”
When the Shadow Army killed nearly fifty goblins.
The narrow room was covered in goblin corpses and blood, making it difficult to move, and the three elves had minor injuries all over their bodies..
Above all - I was discovered..
Hiding and escaping secretly became a distant task. There was no more hope. Now all that's left is the end of fighting and dying…….
The three elves felt death.
《Ki-kick, ki-rik. Like a stupid elf.》
When the three elves looked tired, Goblin Amir personally drew his sword and approached them..
《I will especially cut off your ears myself and present them to the God King..》
Its long tongue licked its blade. God Hand thought about how much damage he could inflict on the goblin army if he had that guy as his companion..
‘ah.’
Suddenly I wanted to see my lover.
Her red hair, disheveled on the bed pillow, her gaze looking at her affectionately…….
I missed the night sky we saw sitting side by side.
Without realizing it, Godhand muttered..
“lily…….”
It was that moment.
Kwakwang-!
Goblin Amir and his guards, who were approaching with their tongues licking their swords, were engulfed in tremendous flames along the entire hallway..
A terrible smell of cooking flesh and extreme heat swept through the room. The three shadow troops urgently fell to the ground and avoided it..
‘uh?’
After the storm of heat passed, God Hand awkwardly raised his head and looked ahead..
“hey.”
was there.
“i said.”
His lover, breathing heavily, with flowing red hair,.
Senior wizard of the monster front - Lily smiled..
“If anything happens, I'm coming to save you..”
